Why  You  Should  Be  a  Sterling  Owner 

The  adaptability  of  the  Sterling  Thresher  to  the  farm  with  a  limited  acreage  has  for  many 
years  been  one  of  the  principal  assets  in  its  favor. 

Its  convenience  for  use  in  a  hilly  country  where  roads  are  not  always  of  the  best  and  some- 
times cjuite  steep,  is  another  factor  which  appeals  to  farmers  living  in  such  regions. 

This  practical  little  machine  has  been  designed  chiefly  with  a  view  toward  meeting  the 
demand  for  a  light  thresher,  easily  transported,  and  having  a  capacity  adapted  to  such  farms  as 
cannot  be  reached  by  the  heavier  machines. 

Another  thing — while  the  cost  of  a  large  thresher  is  almost  prohibitive  for  a  mountainous 
region,  or  where  small  farms  are  the  rule,  the  Sterling  is  exceptionally  well  suited  for  individual 
use  without  costing  more  than  the  small  farmer  can  afford  to  pay.  Where  two  farmers  club 
together  for  the  purchase  of  a  Sterling  Thresher  outfit,  the  cost  to  each  is  still  further  reduced. 

Furthermore — it  requires  very  little  power  to  operate.  A  4  or  6-H.  P.  I  H  C  oil  engine 
will  furnish  ample  power  for  threshing  all  kinds  of  grain  and  seeds,  such  as  wheat,  rye,  oats, 
barley,  buckwheat,  Kaffir  coi'n,  sorghum,  flax,  grass  seed,  beans,  cow  peas,  soy  beans,  and  peanuts. 
Its  capacity  is  limited  only  by  the  condition  of  the  grain  or  seed  to  be  threshed. 

Another  point  in  favor  of  the  Sterling  is  that  a  man  and  a  boy  can  easily  attend  to  all  duties 
connected  with  the  threshing  operation. 

The  four  sizes  of  Sterling  Threshers  are  built  with  the  following  sizes  of  cylinders  and  sepa- 
ration respectively— 21x28,  21x33  (or  No.  21>^),  26x.33,  and  30x37.  The  first  two  sizes  differ 
only  in  the  size  of  the  separation  area,  as  the  eciuipment  and  general  features  are  the  same. 

Sterling  threshers  are  furnished  unmounted,  mounted  on  an  individual  truck,  or  mounted  on 
a  combination  truck  with  an  I  H  C  Titan  4,  6  or  8-H.  P.  oil  engine,  depending  on  the  size  of  the 
thresher.     Combination  trucks  are  made  in  two  sizes. 

The  unmounted  machine  is  an  ideal  barn  floor  thresher,  requiring  very  little  space;  it  can  be 
made  a  regular  fixture  and  threshing  can  be  done  in  the  barn  on  rainy  days  or  whenever  convenient. 

Straw  stackers  especially  adapted  to  barn  floor  threshing,  with  a  length  of  60  feet  if  necessary, 
can  be  furnished  when  ordered.  These  stackers  are  built  so  that  they  can  be  used  straight  away, 
or  at  right  angles,  either  right  or  left  hand.  They  are  sent  adjusted  for  straight  away  use  only, 
unless  the  angle  attachment  is  ordered.  When  placed  on  a  mounting  truck  the  thresher  is  more 
conveniently  used  in  the  field,  as  this  rig  is  very  light  and  easily  ti-ansported. 

When  a  Sterling  Thresher  and  an  I  H  C  oil  engine  are  mounted  together  on  a  combina- 
tion truck,  an  ideal  threshing  outfit  is  formed.  Being  always  lined  up  and  set  ready  for  operation, 
the  outfit  can  be  started  in  a  moment. 

While  having  a  very  low  fuel  consumption,  ample  power  and  economy  of  operation  are 
insured.  A  coml)ination  truck  can  easily  be  turned  into  a  sawing  rig  by  dismounting  the  thresher 
and  attaching  the  saw. 

Combination  Outfit  of  Great  Practical  Value 

When  the  cost  of  a  Sterling  thresher  is  compared  with  the  amount  of  work  it  will  do  in  one 
season  it  can  readily  be  reasoned  out  that  an  investment  in  a  Sterling  is  really  a  paying  one. 
Especially  is  this  true  of  the  combination  outfit.  With  the  thresher  dismounted,  the  engine  can  be 
hauled  around  on  the  truck  to  various  jobs  whenever  the  occasion  requires.  It  is  an  easy  matter 
to  adjust  the  truck  so  that  a  feed  grinder,  corn  sheller  or  sawing  outfit  can  be  mounted  or  belted 
to  the  engine  in  place  of  the  thresher.  The  truck  and  engine  can  thus  be  adapted  for  various 
economical  combinations  with  practically  no  expense.

A  Strong  Steel  Bar  Cylinder 


'^Msik 


9-bar  steel  cylinder.     Note  po^verful  construction 


The  Sterling  Thresher  is  equipped  with  a  9-bar  steel  cylinder,  which  is  one  of  the  strongest 
and  caost  durable  cylinders  made.  The  shaft  is  made  of  the  best  quality  of  steel.  The  steel  bars  to 
which  the  teeth  are  fastened  are  solid,  of  good  weight,  and  have  a  smooth  rounded  surface.  The 
cylinder  heads  are  of  gi'ay  iron.  They  are  forced  on  the  shaft  under  heavy  pressure  and  fit  so 
tightly  that  they  cannot  work  loose.  The  tooth  bars  are  then  pinned  to  the  solid  heads,  and  heavy 
bands  of  the  liest  quality  of  wrought  iron  are  shrunk  on  to  the  ends  of  the  cylinder.  This  method 
of  fastening  the  tooth  bars  insures  practically  a  one-piece  cylinder. 

The  cylinder  boxes  are  readily  adjusted,  and  are  babbitted  with  a  good  quality  of  anti-friction 
metal.  Between  the  two  halves  of  the  bearing  are  a  number  of  thin  wooden  wedges,  or  shims, 
which  can  be  removed,  one  or  two  at  a  time,  as  fast  as  the  liabbitted  bearing  wears  down.  By 
removing  these,  the  bearings  can  be  tightened  and  fitted  more  closely. 

The  cylinder  heads  are  concave  and  the  bearing  boxes  are  therefore  closer  together.  This 
allows  a  smaller  shaft  to  be  used,  reciuiring  less  power  than  a  heavier  shaft.  The  wear  on  the 
bearings  is  also  greatly  reduced.  Roller  bearing  boxes  are  furnished  on  special  order  only  at  an 
additional  cost. 

The  cylinder  on  the  iSterling  has  a  very  steady  motion  when  running  at  full  threshing  speed. 
It  is  an  evident  fact  that  steadiness  in  a  cylinder  is  all-important  during  operation,  as  the  cylinder 
is  practically  the  balance  wheel  of  the  thresher. 

A  cylinder  which  has  not  been  properly  adjusted  is  sure  to  bring  trouble.  Sagging  must  be 
guarded  against.  Means  have  been  provided  so  that  the  cylinder  in  the  Sterling  Thresher  can  be 
kept  absolutely  true  at  all  times. 

The  construction  of  the  top  and  end  of  the  machine,  just  above  and  a  little  back  of  the 
cylinder,  is  such  as  to  cause  a  heavy  suction  of  air  which  carries  dust  through  with  the  straw  and 
away  from  the  man  who  feeds  the  machine.

Adjustable  Concaves

ReAalar  Arain  concave 


Sterling  Threshers  are  of  the 
over-shot  type.  The  concaves 
quickly  adjust  themselves  to  any 
liard  foreign  substance  which 
may,  by  accident,  sometimes  get 
into  a  machine.  Should  a 
wrench,  for  example,  come  be- 
tween the  cylinder  and  concave, 
the  latter  will  lift  itself  auto- 
matically to  prevent  any  lareak- 
age.  The  value  of  this  point 
can  be  seen  at  a  glance.  Break-

teeth  are  reduced  to  a  remarkably  small  number  every  year, 
in  use  since  1899  and  has  been  entirely  satisfactory. 

The  floating  concave,  which  is  an  important  feature  of  the  Sterling  Thresher,  is  made  of 
one  solid  piece  of  gray  iron 
and  is  therefore,  for  all  thresh- 
ing purposes,  practically  ever- 
lasting. The  front  of  the  con- 
cave is  hung  on  a  heavy  rod 
which  passes  through  the  ma- 
chine from  one  side  to  the  other, 
forming  a  hinge  for  the  con- 
cave. The  rear  is  held  in  posi- 
tion by  a  hand-adjusting  screw, 
which  passes  through  the  top 
of  the  thresher,  and  with  which 
the  thresher  operator  can  raise 
or  lower  the  concave  over  the 
cylinder  to  suit  the  condition  of 
the  grain  and  straw  passing  into 
the  machine. 

When  threshing  peanuts,  a 
different  concave  from  that  reg- 
ularly furnished  with  the  ma- 
chine is  required.  A  special 
adjustable  concave  for  this  pur- 
pose is  furnished  on  order  at 
an  additional  cost.  The  two 
front  rows  of  teeth  on  this  concave  can  be  raised  slightly  to  suit  conditions  of  vines  and  peanuts 
or,  if  desired,  can  be  withdrawn  entirely.

The  importance  of  properly  designed 
concaves  is  often  overlooked.  The  Ster- 
ling is  well  equipped  in  this  respect.  The 
teeth  are  joined  so  firmly  to  the  bed  of 
the  concave  that  practically  a  one-piece 
mechanism  is  the  result.  Full  instructions 
for  properly  changing  these  concaves  are 
given  with  each  machine.  The  accom- 
panying illustrations  will  give  a  clear  un- 
derstanding, not  only  of  the  regular  grain 
concave,  but  also  the  special  cow  pea  and 
peanut  concave  which  is  shown  both  in 
sections  and  complete.

^  The   Sterling  Thresher   is   Well   Equipped   with  Tough 

Cylinder  and  Concave  Teeth 

The  cylinder  and  concave  teeth  in  the  Sterling-  Thresher  are  of  drop  hammer  forged  steel. 
They  are  tough  and  pliable.  When  bent  they  do  not  show  cracks.  Bent  cylinder  or  concave  teeth 
can  easily  be  straightened  with  the  tooth  set  furnished  with  each  machine,  or  with  a  heavy  ham- 
mer. This  pliability  of  the  teeth  saves  hundreds  of  dollars  annually  to  owners,  as  breakages  of 
these  important  fixtures  are  very  infrequent. 

The  cylinder  teeth  are  firmly  set  into  square  holes  in  the  cylinder  tooth  bars.  This  method  of 
setting  permits  the  use  of  good  strong  teeth,  with  heavy  square  shoulders,  and  prevents  them 
from  twisting  in  their  sockets.  Cylinder  teeth  are  wider  at  the  working  end  than  concave  teeth 
and  are  slightly  narrower  near  the  shoulder,  as  will  be  seen  in  the  accompanying  illustration. 

The  teeth  of  the  cylinder  and  concave  can  be  accurately  spaced  by  means  of  a  very  simple 
adjusting  device  under  the  ends  of  the  cylinder  shaft.  A  4-inch  lag  bolt,  or  adjusting  screw, 
passes  through  the  sill  of  the  main  frame  directly  under  the  lower  half  of  the  journal  box.  The 
end  of  this  bolt  is  held  tightly  against  a  projecting  ear,  or  pai't  of  the  journal  box,  on  the  inside 
of  the  sill. 

.Should  there  be  any  end  play  of  the  cylinder  which  would  cause  the  cylinder  teeth  to  interfere 
with  or  strike  the  concave  teeth,  the  cylinder  can  be  quickly  centered  by  simply  loosening  the  lag 
bolt  on  the  right  or  left  side  of  the  machine,  as  the  case  might  be,  and  tightening  the  correspond- 
I  ing  bolt  on  the  other  side.  When  the  cylinder  teeth  are  not  centered  in  the  space  between  the 
concave  teeth,  broken  grain  is  the  inevitable  result.  By  means  of  the  lag  bolts,  the  cylinder  is 
held  in  absolute  alignment  and  the  relation  between  the  cylinder  and  concave  teeth  can  be  adjusted 
to  a  hair's  breadth  with  a  minimum  of  troul)le  and  loss  of  time  on  the  part  of  the  operator. 
Trouble  is  often  caused  by  bent  teeth.  Every  thresherman  or  operator  should  make  frequent 
examinations  of  the  condition  of  the  cylinder  and  concave  teeth. 


Number  of  Cylinder  and  Concave  Teeth 

The   different   sizes  of   Sterling  Threshers   are   equipped  with  cylinder  and  concave  teeth 
as  follows: 

Sterling  Thresher  Nos.  21  and  213^ 57  cylinder  teeth  and  36  concave  teeth 

Sterling  Thresher  No.  26 7.5  cylinder  teeth  and  60  concave  teeth 

Sterling  Thresher  No.  30 - 84  cylinder  teeth  and  71  concave  teeth 


Revolving  Apron  a  Feature 

A  valuable  improvement  in  thresher  construction  is  the  patent  revolving  apron  used  on 
Sterling  Threshers.  A  device  of  this  kind  has  been  needed  for  a  long  time,  but  in  spite  of  its 
apparent  simplicity  of  design,  the  idea  has  been  developed  only  within  a  comparatively  recent 
period.

Revolving  Apron  a  Feature 


(Continned) 

The  ()l),ject  of  the  revolving  apron  is  to  stop 
the  grain  and  straw  as  it  comos  through  tiie  cyl- 
inder, then  carry  it  through  to  the  shalvers  so  that 
the  entire  slialier  area  is  used  to  separate  the 
irrain  from  the  straw.  This  improvement  not 
only  keeps  the  grain  from  flying  over  the  shaker 
but  increases  the  capacity  of  tlie  machine,  as  the 
aprons  keep  the  sti'aw  moving  and  prevent  wraj)- 
ping  and  clogging  at  the  cylinder.  There  is 
always  more  or  less  waste  of  valuable  time  when 
the  cylinder  becomes  clogged  or  wrapped,  as 
operation  must  be  discontinued  while  the  straw  is 
being  cleaned  out.  This  trouble  is  entirely  done 
away  with  in  Sterling  Threshers. 

The  patent  revolving  apron  is  of  steel  and  the 
different  sections  are  connected  to  circular  ends 
or  heads.  It  is  revolved  by  means  of  a  belt  wheel. 
By  a  very  simple  mechanical  contrivance,  as  can 
be  seen  in  the  accompanying  illustration,  each 
steel  section  of  the  revolving  apron  is  always  in  a 
vertical  position  as  the  drum  revolves.  The  grain 
and  straw  are  absolutely  prevented  from  passing  through,  in  spite  of  the  force  exerted  by  the 
cylinder.  An  inclined  fender  board,  placed  between  the  cylinder  and  revolving  apron,  dii-ects  the 
straw  downward  at  an  angle  so  that  it  strikes  just  below  the  center  of  the  mechanism.

Shakers  Have  Hi^h  Efficiency 

Good  shakers  are  necessary  if  the  thresher  is  to  give  satisfaction  in  all  kinds  and  conditions  of 
grain.  In  this,  as  in  other  respects,  the  Sterling  Thresher  is  beyond  criticism.  An  idea  of  its 
general  eiBciency  may  be  gained  from  the  fact  that  the  Sterling,  with  its  eciuipment  of  sieves  and 
special  attachments,  threshes  and  cleans  such 
different  grains  and  seeds  as  wheat,  rye,  oats, 
liariey,  flax,  sorghum,  peas,  Kaffir  corn,  buck- 
wheat, rice,  grass  seed,  cow  peas,  peanuts,  etc. 

The  shakers  are  constructed  with  a  doul)le 
bottom,  having  a  rapid  vibrating  movement  and 
a  number  of  beater  forks  which,  when  in  mo- 
tion, have  a  steady  up  and  down  movement  to 
assist  in  separating  the  grain  from  the  chaff 
and  the  straw.  The  upper  l)ottom,  over  which 
the  straw  passes  after  leaving  the  cylinders,  is 
made  of  galvanized  sheet  metal,  which  will  not 
rust  and  is  practically  unwearable.  It  is  per- 
fonited  with  small  half  round  lipped  holes 
tiirough  which  the  grain  and  chuff  are  dropped 
to  the  under  bottom,  and  carried  back  to  the 
fan  and  sieves  to  be  cleaned. 

By  means  of  the  turned  up  lip  construction 
and  the  reciprocating  motion  of  the  shakers  a 
positive  forward  movement  is  given  to  the  straw 
which  is  forced  to  the  rear  of  the  shakers  and 
dropped  to  the  ground  or  to  the  straw  carrier. 

Crank  and  Pitman 

The  crank  shaft  and  pitman  are  important 
features  in  Sterling  Threshers,  and  the  con- 
struction of  these  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired. 
The  crank  shaft  is  forged  out  of  one  piece  of 
solid  high  grade  steel.  The  bearings  are 
accurately  turned,  and  run  with  very  little 
friction. 

The  pitman  is  strong  and  durable.     It  is  made  of  tuljular  steel,  and  has  a  pitman  box  so 
designed  that  the  wear  can  be  taken  up  in  a  few  moments.

(Continued) 


The  different  sizes  of  Sterling  Threshers  are  de- 
signed to  successfully  handle  all  kinds  of  grain  and 
seed,  but  they  are  not  regularly  furnished  with  the  full 
complement  of  sieves  required  to  do  all  this  work.  As 
the  various  seeds  and  grains  differ  in  size,  shape,  etc., 
in  order  to  secure  the  best  results,  differently  con- 
structed sieves  should  be  used  for  different  grains.  In 
ordering  a  Sterling  Thresher,  the  purchaser  should 
state  what  kind  of  work  he  will  want  to  use  it  for  so  as 
to  be  certain  to  get  the  correct  sieve  equipment. 

All  Sterling  Threshers  are  regularly  equipped  with 
one  wheat  sieve,  one  oat  sieve,  and  a  rye  sieve.  While 
this  regular  equipment  will  answer  for  a  number  of 
purposes  besides  those  mentioned,  special  sieves  must 
be  used  when  threshing  and  cleaning  buckwheat,  cow 
peas,  grass  seed,  peanuts,  rice,  flax,  sorghum,  etc. 

When  a  machine  is  ordered  for  threshing  rice,  it 
should  be  so  stated  for  the  reason  that  the  thresher 
must  be  speeded  more  slowly  than  for  threshing  grain, 
and  must  be  equipped  with  the  correct  size  of  pulley. 

A  special  sieve,  or  extension  of  the  grain  spout,  is 
regularly  furnished  with  the  two  largest  sizes  of 
threshers  when  ordered  with  mounting  trucks.  This 
sieve  is  hung  at  the  end  of  the  grain  spout  and  effectu- 
ally screens  or  sifts  the  dust,  dirt,  or  broken  peanuts 
and  cow  peas,  allowing  only  clean  and  whole  peas  or 
peanuts  to  fall  into  the  measures.  When  this  sieve  is 
used  for  grain,   it  is  equipped  with  a  smooth  bottom 

and  it  then  becomes  a  chute,  and  serves  only  to  give  direction  to  the  grain 
do  not  belong  to  the  regular  equipment  can  be  had  at  a  nominal  price.

Self-adjusting  Wind  Rej^ulator 


The  two  largest  threshers  —  the  26-in.  and  the  .30-in.  ^ — are  equipped  with  an  automatic  self- 
adjusting  wind  regulator,  located  on  the  power  side  of  the  machine  immediately  to  the  left  of  the 
grain  spout.  It  consists  of  two  sets  of  six  steel  blades  placed  on  a  shaft  in  a  circular  opening  on 
the  side  of  the  thresher  just  below  the  fan.  One  set  is  fastened  to  the  side  of  the  opening,  while 
the  other  is  free  on  the  shaft.  The  openings  between  the  blades  are  the  same  size  as  the  blades 
themselves,  and  when  less  wind  is  required  can  be  partially  overlapped  by  the  free  blades.

Two  Yi^ht  wooden  rods,  the  width  of  the 
macliinc,  and  connectinjj  the  inner  set  of  blades 
at  the  top  and  bottom,  automatically  reduce 
or  increase  the  wind  sui)ply,  being  pulled  in 
the  direction  of  the  air  blast  from  the  fan,  in- 
creasing or  decreasing  the  opening  according  to 
the  variation  in  speed.  When  the  machine  is 
running  fast  the  air  supply  is  reduced  and  when 
running  slow  it  is  increased  and  is  in  this  way 
automatically  regulated. 

The  proper  volume  is  fixed  by  moving  the 
weight  to  different  ixtints  on  the  balance  lever. 
See  illustration  at  the  left. 

It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  the  speed  of  the 
cylinder  vai-ies  even  with  the  most  careful  atten- 
tion of  a  skilled  operator.  The  speed  is  in- 
creased when  the  cylinder  is  empty,  and  at  such 
times  there  should  be  less  wind  on  the  sieves  so 
as  to  prevent  grain  from  being  blown  over  and 
wasted.  When  so  much  grain  is  fed  into  the 
cylinder  as  to  retard  its  motion,  it  is  impctrtant 
that  there  should  be  more  wind  directed  toward 
the  sieves  to  prevent  chaff  from  coming  down 
with  the  grain.

Durable  Belts 

The  belts  used  on  Sterling  Threshers  are  either  flat  or  round.  All  flat  belts  are  of  rubljer, 
while  tlie  round  belts  are  of  the  made-up  leather  variety.  These  belts  are  very  strong  and  dura- 
ble, the  width  and  thickness  being  regulated  entirely  by  the  amount  of  strain  to  which  they  are 
subjected  in  doing  the  work.  The  thresher  is  regularly  furnished  with  all  necessary  belts  except 
the  main  drive  Ix'lt  from  cylinder  to  engine,  and  on  the  coml^ination  outfit  aliout  26  feet  of  rubber 
belt,  4  inches  wide,  and  either  4:  or  o-ply,  is  required.     This  belt  is  furnisiied  extra. 

Trucks,  Wheels  and  Axles 


Rear  axle 

The  trucks  consist  of  metal  wheels,  axles,  bolster,  bolster  I)race,  pole,  neckyoke,  and  double- 
trees. 

On  the  single  trucks  each  axle  is  fastened  directly  to  the  tiiresher.  The  mounting  trucks  for 
threshers  only  are  considerably  lighter  than  the  combination  truck  for  the  thresher  and  oil 
engine.  This  combination  truck  has  two  heavy  wooden  sills  running  tiie  length  of  the  truck 
upon  which  the  thresher  is  mounted  on  one  end  and  an  IH  C  oil  engine  at  the  other.  The  length 
uf  the  combination  truck  over  all  is  13  feet,  6  inches.

Shafting  and  Bearings 

All  shafts  in  Sterling  Threshers  are  of  high  grade  steel. 
They  are  not  too  heavy  and  not  too  light,  and  will  withstand, 
without  twisting  or  bending,  all  strains  to  which  they  may 
be  put.  They  are  all  accurately  turned  and  thoroughly 
tested. 

The  liearings  are  all  lathe  turned  and  polished  and  so 
constructed  that  the  wear  is  taken  up  in  the  most  approved 
manner.  The  boxes  are  heavily  lined  or  babbited  with  a 
good  quality  of  non-friction  metal.  This  lining  can  be  easily 
removed  when  too  thin  and  a  new  lining  put  in.  Sterling 
Threshers  have  always  been  known  for  their  light-running 
features.

Special  Attachments 


Tailings  Elevator — The  taiUngs  elevator  carries  the  tailings  back  to  the  cylinder.  It  can  be 
used  on  either  side  of  the  machine.  This  is  one  of  the  many  practical  features  found  on  Sterling 
threshers. 

Straw  Stacker — Straw  stackers  or  carriers  are  made  to  carry  away  both  the  straw  and  chaff, 
or  the  straw  only.  When  ordering,  the  customer  should  give  his  preference.  When  the  threshers 
are  ordered  for  barn  floor  work  and  stackers  are  ordered  sent  with  the  machine,  a  stacker  for 
carrying  straw  only  is  sent  attached  to  the  end  of  the  shaker.  A  rope  and  windlass  are  not  fur- 
nished with  any  down  machine,  or  with  No.  21,  whether  mounted  or  down.  When  this  rope  and 
windlass  are  not  sent  the  stacker  is  supported  on  props  or  held  at  the  proper  angle  by  ropes  tied 
to  overhead  rafters  or  beams.  These  stackers  will  elevate  higher  than  any  other  make  and  can  be 
furnished  in  any  length  required.  Straw  stackers  are  sometimes  made  to  carry  18  to  20  feet  away 
from  the  machine  and  then  at  an  angle  as  much  farther.  They  have  laeen  made  as  long  as  60  feet. 
All  stackers  less  than  14  feet  in  length  will  be  furnished  in  one  piece.  Stackers  14  feet  or  longer 
will  be  furnished  in  one  piece  or  folding  as  ordered.  All  stackers,  however,  on  No.  26  or  No.  30, 
16  feet  or  over  in  length,  are  sent  folding  when  threshers  are  ordered  with  the  regular  truck. 

Grain  Bagger — The  grain  bagger  has  a  double  metal  spout  with  a  shut-off  lever  and  slide 
for  filHng  one  sack  while  the  other  sack  is  being  emptied.  The  value  and  time  economy  of  the 
double  spout  is  well  known  to  everyone  who  has  ever  used  a  thresher  with  this  feature.  The  fact 
that  this  attachment  can  be  used  on  cither  side  of  the  machine  is  a  big  point  in  its  favor.  Where 
conditions  are  such  that  the  setting  interferes  with  the  bagger  in  any  way  it  is  certainly  a  con- 
venience to  be  able  to  put  the  bagger  on  the  other  side  of  the  machine. 


Long  Grain  Elevator— When  the  long  grain  elevator  is  used  the  bagger  is  dispensed  with 
entirely.  This  elevator  delivers  the  grain  directly  into  the  wagon  box.  When  no  bagger  is  used, 
the  grain  can  also  be  delivered  into  half-bushel  measures,  two  of  which  are  part  of  the  regular 
equipment  of  each  plain  machine.

Peanut  Picker  C 

An  attachment  for  threshing  and  cleaning-  peanuts  can  also  be  furnished  with  the  Sterling 
Thresher.  It  is  only  necessary  to  change  the  concaves,  take  out  some  of  the  cylinder  teeth,  then 
change  the  pulley  on  the  shaker  wheel  to  a  22/^ -inch  size  to  give  a  speed  of  from  400  to  450 
revolutions  of  the  cylinder  per  minute.  Of  course  the  speed  varies  with  the  conditions  of  the 
vines,  dryness  or  fullness  of  the  peanuts,  etc.  The  Sterling  Peanut  Picker  does  exceptionally 
satisfactory  work  and  is  growing  in  popularity  every  season.  In  making  changes  follow  care- 
fully directions  sent  with  each  machine. 

Pea  Threshing  Attachment 

The  Sterling  threshing  outfit  is  so  arranged  that  with  a  few  changes  such  as  using  a  special 
concave,  changing  the  cylinder  teeth  and  the  speed  of  the  pulleys,  it  can  be  converted  into  a  pea 
thresher  for  hulling  peas  from  the  vines.  This  attachment  is  the  means  of  saving  a  great  deal  of 
time  and  expense  as  the  peas  are  handled  very  rapidly.  Picking  the  pods  from  the  vines  by  hand 
before  threshing  is  generally  a  tedious  job.

In  special  cases  when  so  ordered,  cylinder  pulleys  with  4>2,  5,  6,  and  7-inch  diameters  can 
be  furnished,  also  6-inch  faces  when  needed. 

When  a  different  size  pulley  is  ordered  for  the  cylinder,  a  different  size  shaker  wheel  must 
also  be  ordered  to  correspond,  as  will  be  seen  by  the  table  below: 

For  4/4  and  5-inch  cylinder  pulleys,  order  20/4'-inch  shaker  wheels 
For  6-inch  cylinder  pulleys,  order  25     -inch  shaker  wheels 

For  7-inch  cylinder  pulleys,  order  30     -inch  shaker  wheels 

With  these  pulleys,  the  recpiired  speed  of  1,050  revolutions  per  minute  can  be  attained.  The 
5,  6,  and  7-inch  pulleys  are  used  only  when  threshing  grain  such  as  wheat,  oacs,  rye,  buckwheat, 
Kaffir  corn,  barley,  gi-ass  seed,  etc. 

When  threshing  peas  and  cow  peas,  a  14-inch  pulley  is  used.  It  is  not  necessary  to  change 
the  regular  shaker  wheel  in  this  case. 

To  thresh  peanuts  properly,  the  14-incli  pulley  is  used,  but  the  shaker  wheel  must  be  changed 
to  a  22>4-ineh  diameter  to  acquire  the  necessary  speed  of  from  400  to  450  revolutions  of  the 
cylinder  per  minute. 

Of  course,  in  every  case,  the  speed  required  depends  entirely  upon  the  condition  of  grain, 
straw,  vines,  beans,  peas,  peanuts,  etc.  For  example  the  cylinder  speed  must  be  reduced  when 
peanuts  are  very  dry,  and  vice  versa. 

The  regular  pulley  furnished  for  cow  peas  and  i)eanuts  has  a  diameter  of  14  inches.

Titan  Hopper-Cooled  Oil  Mounting  Engine 


Titan  Hopper-Cooled  Oil  Monniin^  Engine 


Titan  hopper-cooled  oil  mounting  engines  are  designed  to  meet  the  demand  for  an  engine  that 
can  easily  be  mounted  on  a  farm  truck,  bolj  sled  or  skid,  making  a  portable  outfit,  or  in  connec- 
tion with  any  special  machinery  such  as  well  drills,  concrete  mixers,  saw  rigs,  portable  puniping 
l)iants,  and  the  like.  These  engines  are  especially  adapted  for  such  work  on  account  of  the 
comijactness  of  the  outfit,  their  moderate  weight,  and  the  small  amount  of  water  required  for 
cooling.  The  hopper-cooled  feature  also  does  away  with  much  of  the  danger  of  the  cylinder  or 
jacket  being  cracked  by  freezing,  because  the  hopper  is  open  at  the  top,  thus  allowing  the  freezing 
water  to  expand.     Hot  water  can  be  poured  in  to  facilitate  starting.

Titan  Horizontal  Hoppor-Coolod  Portable  Oil  En;^ine         4 


Titan  liopper-cooled  portal)le  oil  engines  ure  particularly  desirable  for  portable  work.  The 
absence  of  the  cooling  tank  makes  them  more  compact,  lijrliter,  and  simpler  than  the  tank-cooled 
outfits.  The  engine  is  the  Titan  hopper-cooled  mounting  oil  engine,  e(iuipp(>d  to  operate  on  kero- 
sene, solar  oil,  gas  oil,  and  distillate  down  to  ;^)9",  but  will  o|)ei-ate  equally  well  on  gasoline,  ben- 
zine, or  naphtha.  These  engines  embody  many  desiralile  features,  including  the  auto  sparker,  and 
friction  clutch  pulley  which  can  lie  bolted  to  either  flywheel.  This  type  of  engine  is  ideal  to  use 
with  small  thi'cshers. 

The  trucks  are  especially  designed  for  this  service,  and  will  stand  the  wear  and  tear  of  the 
roughest  roads.  They  are  light,  Imt  exceptionally  strong  and  well  made,  lieing  constructed  almost 
entirely  of  steel. 

Equipment — Titan  hoi)per-cooled  portalile  oil  engines  are  completely  o(iiiipped  for  I'unning, 
with  following  accessories:  One  galvanized  fuel  tank,  exhaust  muffler,  friction  clutch  pulley, 
magneto,  tool  box,  necessary  tools,  oil  can,  oil,  doubletrees,   pole,   neckyoke,   and  wheel   Ijraces. 

Special  Accessorzes— Special  size  plain  pulleys,  friction  clutch  pulleys,  etc.,  can  be  furnished 
on  special  order.
